You mentioned the question of reparations from
Japan. I am afraid that this is not likely to be of
much immediate or practical assistance. I understand
are likely to care less than that the U.K., Burma and the Coloniese together been
20 allocated only 16 per cent of the total reparations
less than half of this is obtained from Japan and that of thie 7 per cent iš te
go to the Colonies and Burma.
The small percentage
the
that is eventually allocated to Hong Kong will I imagine
all be put into the general fund from which claims will be
likely
met.
Yours sincerely,
